INCOSE International Conference on Human Systems Integration (HSI2021)
Dates: November 17–19, 2021
Location: Virtual
Theme: Digital People?
This was the primary focus of HSI2021. The conference explored the shift into a deeper digital society where people should keep control and management of affairs in the most tangible way.
It encouraged dialogue between industrial sectors that included aeronautics, space, medicine, automotive, oil and gas, defense as well as other fields involved in Industry 4.0 and, more generally, in systems that are increasingly digital.
Synopsis
HSI emerged from the combination of human-centered design (HCD) and systems engineering (SE) as a highly participative and incremental process.
In 2020, INCOSE and IEA (International Ergonomics Association) signed a Memorandum of Understanding that fostered this combination. The organizers proudly co-chaired this conference.
HSI required creativity (thought as synthesis and integration) as well as experience awareness and validation (through experimental tests, operations quality analysis, discovery of emergent properties, standards, and so on).
Modeling and simulation capabilities tremendously improved possibilities of taking into account human factors during the early stages of engineering design and throughout the entire life cycle of systems. Operational personnel were involved in virtual operations tests using human-in-the-loop simulations to determine appropriate requirements for effective design and development.
HSI2021 continued the discussions started during HSI2019 in Biarritz, France, and the collaborative work done during the last year in the INCOSE HSI Working Group. Despite the COVID pandemic, successful HSI workshops had been held in 2020.
The conference also invited papers on visionary and transformational ideas and “out-of–the-box” thinking that could move industrial operations in new directions.
HSI2021 brought together manufacturers, operators, government, research centers and academia to focus on improving industrial teams of teams. The economic environment of the time placed additional pressure on all to make industrial operations more efficient and affordable.
Participants submitted innovative methods, techniques, tools and technology that led the way. These included:
- Laboratory research and field investigations
- Industrial developments and perspectives
- Design, evaluation, certification and rule-making
- Training, maintenance, in-service experience
- Incident/accident investigation
Organizers: HSI2021 was organized in cooperation with IEA, ACM and Air & Space Academy.
